Properly understood as a question of focus, unconditional love is the creative process.

About my approach to mind body psychotherapy

Mind body psychotherapy helps us connect with our aliveness, creativity, and heal blocks. Over the years I have developed a highly intuitive approach to working with the nervous system, the personality and day to day practical issues that affect people. I deeply respect the unique relationship each person has to their pain and to their healing. This means that I pay close attention to you and the pace of each session.

Fees for my services are $115.00 an hour for using EMDR and Trauma Resolution therapy.

If you are interested in using your insurance or Employee Assistance Program (EAP) I am on the following panels.

About ME

​​In the search of what works to heal trauma, I went through extensive trainings that focused on the nervous system and how the body affects the mind. It became clear how important a holistic approach is to psychotherapy. Jeremy Geffens asks in The Journey Through Cancer, Healing and Transforming The Whole Person, "What does it take for a human Being to heal and transform at the deepest level of the body, mind, heart, and Spirit?" Treating the whole person made sense and gave me treatment options that began to make a profound difference for people.​

​What prompted me to think differently about Psychotherapy?

Self-creation is an art of fire. ~M.C. Richards

All Higher Self communication begins in the heart. ~Sanaya Roman

Like many people in the healing profession, I became interested in psychotherapy as a way to heal myself. Having survived an accident as a teenager taught me about physical healing and served as an initiation into a further awakening.

In college I became intrigued by psychology and the idea of becoming a psychotherapist. Little did I know that it would be the journey of a lifetime.

As we learn that we are mind, body, emotions, heart, and Spirit, we begin to search intuitively. Hope and inspiration are vital components of the healing journey and we ask," What inspires me? "What gives me hope?"

Creativity is a tool that helps us transform and move our development to the next level. Do we realize that a "seeming" wall is an opportunity to discover more of who we are and what we want? How do we find these answers?
